I'm puzzled, could you explain ???
Do you have a concern about the extra digits of decimal ?

Everyone (including me) rags on the FCSP. But I am now impressed.
After working 40 years in chemical process control and instrumentation, I would not believe ANY device could give that degree of accuracy.
Yes. You can read any amount of sarcasm into my post that you want.

The whole concept of properly using significant digits was lost when digital calculator use became widespread.

You would appreciate the old constipated engineer who worked it out with a slide rule.

I studied engineering in the 70s. I had a calculator, but kept a slide rule in my pocket just in case…..

I was doing my weekly charging session today, pulling stat's and update spreadsheets, the geek in me hasn't retired yet....

I pulled up the FCSP Insights log, it appears @Ford Motor Company cleaned up the bad data after 10/13 record which was my last good information pull.

Subsequent days of energy use (charging or powered remote start / departure time) are now reflecting more accurate values with the extraneous decimal digits

The values post fix of the system are listed to the thousandths of a kWh.

Significant numbers are important & too many people pay more by clever advertisers.

This takes me back to Analytical Chemistry & propagation of uncertainty aka significant numbers on steroids.

Maybe they're using the increase in vehicle mass (hence weight) with the onboard scales to measure our state of charge. A quick calculation suggests that a full charge should increase the truck's mass by about 4 micrograms...
